Equipment

  • Cooking pot
  • Small spray bottle optional

Ingredients

  • 2 cups distilled water
  • ¼ cup dried rosemary or approximately 12 large sprigs of fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Add the water to a pot and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the rosemary leaves to the pot.
    2 cups distilled water, ¼ cup dried rosemary
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the rosemary simmer for 20-30 minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds to be released into the water.
  • Allow the rosemary water to cool, and then strain out the rosemary leaves. You can use a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
  • Transfer the rosemary water to a container or spray bottle.
  • After shampooing, you can use the rosemary water as a final rinse. You can also spray it onto your hair and scalp, ensuring even coverage.
  • You can choose to leave the rosemary water in your hair or rinse it out with cool water after application.

Notes

Rosemary water is known to darken hair slightly, so it might not be suitable for natural blondes.
